Using NSIS 2, it's possible to create custom user interfaces. For example, have a look at the Modern User Interface.

yeah, I just wish that thingie be more usable.

I tried twice and still need more time to understand what's going on with that modern UI.

Too complex compared to normal GUI, IMO.

Did you try the latest version of the Modern UI?

The latest version is really easy to use. You only have to insert a few lines of code and everything is set.

the modernUI much more confusing than the original UI, but they have made it a little easier with the more recent releases. There is a lot less code to put in now.

I think its more confusing because it forces you to declare variables, insert macros and "include" things. I never had to learn that with the old interface.

One Question, I grabbed the CVS version today and noticed 2 things:

1] BrandingText doesn't seem to be changing the text

2] in the output screen of makensisw.exe (after you compile), both "Test Installer" and "Tools" use "T" as the "Alt-" character. If you hit Alt-T it does "Test Installer".

*edit* I did some testing with BrandingText and it changes it ONLY if its after the line that reads: !insertmacro MUI_SYSTEM

If its before that then it doesn't change it. Maybe I'm missing a variable somewhere? I tried reading the Readme.html for it, but nothing...

Alt+T should now do Tools. It will be in the next snapshot.

Have a better look at the Readme :D

Before you insert MUI_SYSTEM: !define MUI_BRANDINGTEXT "Some text"
